OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY CINCINNATI CONVENTION. Notes Caught Cp In Running the liases. First Bate, Blaine-Second conKltng 1 hirst Morton Home Bale, Hayes. Cincinnati, 12 June, 1876. The news of Blaine's illness has not very materially changed the situation, on the whole. There were a great many who Were ready to count Blaine out, ai soon aa the new came. They were very eorry, of course. It was a case for deep sympathy. Blane's struggles in the role of National Gladiator had been brilliant and grand. It was natural to feel-admiration for such bravery and grandeur, just as it was in the old days of the arena, when talwart gladiators fought lions or each other for the entertainment of the crowd at the Colosseum. But there w not many then, and there are not many now, ready with the thumb to give the signal of mercy. He is a braye man he is wounded he is prostrate off with his head. There are a few, on the contrary whose genuine sympathies have been so Btrongly enlisted that it has been aaid frequently to-day "If Blaine can be proven before the Convention to have suffered no permanent injury from this stroke, and no danger of recurring symptoms of an enfeebling nature, he may be nominated on the first ballot.' This is of course poohpoolied by others, who say "we do not nominate President from sympathy for their distresses or bodily ailment" And so the battle goes on. The Blaine men the Maine men-show no sort of intention of abandoning their candidate. One delegate from another Stale said emphatically, with s pious cussword in italics, that they would tick to Blaine now, and nominate his corpse if he died, as a sign of their undying reprobation of the warfare made on him by some of the opposing candidates. This was undoubtedly the feeling of all Blaine's warmest friends and admirers while the fresh wound of sympathy was open and bleeding for their chief. After that pain is allayed, and the intellect gains its proper preponderance, they will make careful inquiry and demand satisfactory guarantees that Mr, Blaine's intellectual vigor has not been impaired or endangered, before they will give him their final votes. 'With thiB assurance all may feel tranquil. If Mr. Blaine is not endangered in his intel. Iectual vigor, his friends not only should but will support him. If he is endangered, they will not imperil the country ont of misplaced sympathy. The Conkling interest has developed in a manner to astonish the friends of some of the other candidates. There are "rafts" of sharp, shrewd, alert men here working for Conkling with a pertinacity and elan hardly equaled in any other following, They override objections and ignore prejudices against their candidate with an in vincible nonehalance, beautiful to behold. There are some of the sbrewdest om longheaded politicans in th Coventiou who say that it has narrowed down now to a single question, whether it tihall be Conkline, or whether all the others shall combine to defeat him with Hayes or Washburn.. Washburne is not strong as a compromise candidate. As an Iowa delegate expressed it" We have had too much Washburne up our way the Washburne are too numerous - Eive us a rest." Morton's friends are busy everywhere. They go about loaded like puck horses with documents for Morton. Whether they eat or whether they drink they do it all to the dory of Morton. It is really pitiful to find the commanding intellect of the great war Governor almost completely ignored in this canvass, and to have the whole thing made a matter of 1-m The low nntnf im tn.fat.il tinny, -fl(h the utmost pertinacity. We are assured that Morton's legs are as good as new that a slight difficulty In the use of one ankle is the only thing in the way of pedestrian feats of the most astonishing kind. "Anyhow, legs ought not to ount much," they will say, in conclusion, "a man don't run for President with his legs." Yet, the legs will get in the tway, every time Morton is discussed. There is no one to find fault with the re-0 ord of (Senator Morton for pecuniary honesty. His bitterest lot cannot charts that he ever made one cent dishonestly off the government, in all the millions he has disbursed. "He ! nnnr ht,t honest," emphatically, in all money matters. The charge does not go to his business honesty, but it is freely made-as to his moral soundness, and his political reliability. He is not trusted on the currency, and all Indiana cannot convince anybody that Morton would not sacrifice principle to partisan advantage at any time when they might come in conflict. If this is not true it is the Senator's misfortune that people cannot be forced to aouDt it. Morton is looked upon as an imDOSaibllitV hv all fh Irion,!, nf nlko- eandidates, but his own friends are among .1. . - C J , ,L. I . .. bun muai. uumuubul in me umyemion. Brietow does not develop any strength at all. It is surprising how little atten tion is paid to any suggestion of his name, iu me oruinary smaii circles or tne mass. The Bristow clubs load the tables of all the different delegations with meaty documents which no one ever reads. Thev timer do read documents at Conventions. it is tne stupidest waste of money to print them. (I beg- you to observe how virtuous it is for me to make the admission, to the destruction of the trade, j The Bristow clubs have the most expensive of all the headquarter arrangements, except those for Conkling. It is noticeable that reform is very nice in its tastes-very esthetic very expensive to keep very kidglovey in its aspect and swallow-tailish in its development. One set of Evangelists has taken possession of the Billiard Boom at the Gibson a large handsome apartment on the ground floor. They preach Bristow, and him crucified literally, this is true, and if it is irreverent I am sorry. The Bristow support has undoubtedly inspired bim, by a sort of self-righteous arrogance. There is an impression that the Bristow people are too angelic for the dishwashing of every day life. Hayes what shall I say as to Hayes Let me tell you what Richard Smith said to me : "I would rather have Hayes's chances for the nomination than any other man's." The Deacon still Bticks to Bristow in the Gazette, but these are his real sentiments as to the probabilities. The Gazette has declared in advance that it will not Bupport Blaine, if nominated. It is a matter of universal regret that the Republicans of Ohio have no representative or champion among the morning press of Cincinnati. The sentiment of the Republicans of Ohio is not only not represented, but is suppressed and distorted, or misrepresented in all the morning papers. The reason for this is inscrutable to Why the Gazette and Commer cial should both have gone totally deaf, dumb and blind, not to say insane and idiotic, in deyotion to Brietow, is one of the things no fellar ean find out. I give it up. I would have Bworn by the Commercial on a stack of Swan's statutes not by its principles, but by its fairness in news matters out it nag gone deck un me. It is bitter in the belly, now. Ite thunder all comes from under Bristow's coat tail. The Times is the only newspaper here that reflects the real public sentiment of Ohio, by giving a fair showing to the small and infrequent portions of the State where Bristow is not bowed down to and worshipped. The Enquirer has too much partisan ability to serve Republican interests, but it is really more impar tial in this matter than the uazette or Commercial, just now. Tfl be brief, Uayes, tee find, u me secona onow qf nearly all the different dels-gatiom, for President. Moreover if he would take tne Betosa pi ace on me ucaei "and sav no more about it." I have no doubt he would be nominated by acclama tion and with enthusiasm. But when the Hayes men go a-catting they don't Din for eelB. They qo most con- Bdently expect to ee the name of Rutherford B. Hayes occupy the first place on the ticket. I have heard not only the best informed Ohio men, but the very best posted men of other delegations, assert that nothing could prevent the nomination of Hayes, after the demonstration of the fact that neither of the great quadrilateral can make the race, always provided Ohio stands by Hayes faithfully. Once lor all, Ohio mill stand by Hayes while there s a ghost of a chance for him, to any point short of disorganising the Convention. This is the naked, Bimple truth, as the result will Bbow. All the reports that Hayes does not hold the real preferences, first and above all other candidates, of Ohio, solid and unanimous, have been so ridiculously false that the delegation has felt incredulous of their haying any effect, and has failed to notice any of them. I write this at the request of the delegation, and I assert most positively and unconditionally, on their behalf, that they have only one choice for President short of such a crisis in the Convention as would make further support of Hayes simply disorganizing and obstructive of the work of the Convention. They mean to give Hayes the moBt faithful, active and earnest support in their power, and tbey do not think -it necessary to have any second choice. There will hardly be votes enough to go around, the way this thing is working now. Here is the way it footB up for Brat ballot, taking the "Bure count" of friends of each candidate : Blaine , 92 votes Morton 260 " Conkling 2r0 " Bristow ) " Hartranft " Hayes c to " Jewell 11 ' Washburne , t " Total ItOBo votes There is a shrewd move talked of in the Blaine management. It has generally been held that Blaine would have his forces in such thorough organization and discipline as to control his utmost Btrength on the first ballot, so that he would lose rather than gain in subsequent ballotings. Now the "move" is to have part of the Blaine vote caBt scattering, on the Brat call, leaving him still a plurality ; then, before the vote is announced, some scattering Blaine delegation will change its vote to Blaine, another will follow, and in the excitement of the changing votes it is hoped that some of the weak-kneed supporters pf other candidates will be swept into the current, and the whole thing be carried by that sort of coup de main which has characterized the brilliant method of the great chieftain on the floor of the House this winter. If any Buch movement is oontemplated, it shows that Blaine's interests are in com petent hands here, and it will require the utmost watchfulness and care on the part of his rivsls to prevent it from Bucceeding. Ordinarily, political Conventions are subject to the gen eral law in physics, that the largest mass has the most attraction of gravita tion. Thie law is countervailed in the case of Blaine, by the very perfection of organization, which has secured to him in advance a) I tne noaung matter subject to this attraction of gravitation. Clearly, then, the only chance for any accretion of material is, to plant part of the Blaine matter in the solid body of the opposition, and carry as much of the opposition with it as may be involved in the momentum of the movirg body. If the Blaine count is correct, it will only be necessary to rattle down a -few blocks of such iporioj, to give the Blaine matter a preponderance of weight in the uenven lion, J. M. C.

Firm Stand for fhe Buckeye Governor. xieeouraglng Notes from Other State Delegations. Hayes Men Happy, Serene. Hopeful and Personals and Hints on Platform and Organization. General View of the Claims of the Various Candidates. Bristow Meeting- at Pike's Opera llouae Last Klg-ht. Spaclal to the Ohio State Journal. Cincinnati, June 12. The Ohio dele gation had two more meeting at the Grand Hotel this afternoon. About forty of the fortyfour delegates were pres ent, and it was good for a Hayes man to be there. On motion of ex-Senator Wade, Genernal Noyes was made permanent chairman by unanimous vote. The vari ous delegates who had not been present yesterday, were then called upon to speak their minds, and without exception de- plared they would STAND BY THE HAYES BAN NEB As long sb there was a shred of it left. Mr. Wade said he had come here to nominate Hayes, and that he was the man to nominate. One delegate, Carhart, of Gal-ion, the oniy one so far, expressed a gen erous inclination toward Bristow, but declared he would vote for Hayes as long as be could do him any good. This is the sum and substance of the Bristow support developed in the Ohio delegation so far. With this single exception, the declarations for Hayes were all of the most hearty and emphatic character. SflBSJflNABY WOKK. Committees were appointed to visit all the delegations to-morrow to do missionary work. A Kew York delegate said to your cor respondent this evening: "you Qhio men undoubtedly hold the winning card; stick to your candidate and he will be nominated." The same thing has been Baid dozens of times today by delegates from various States. A prominent North Carolinian has asked the privilege of making a Hayes speech to-morrow evening, and will be granted the privilege, He feels certain pis delegation will come to Qhio after the first or second ballot. He says Hayes can carry North Carolina by ten thou sand. OHIO OCT SERENADING. The Ohio men are out serenading the various delegations this evening. Gen eral John C. Lee and General Grosvenor made a couple of very neat little speeches during the rounds. Pennsylvania is po longer a myth. The delegation came in to-night carrying a Hartranft banner, and led by a brass band. The Pennsyl-vanians all wear white hats and black hats for effect. It is very imposing. Mr, Cessna responded in their behalf to the Ohio serenade. A GOOD NATURED CROWD. The number of arrivals to-day are very large, and there is a prospect that tomorrow the crowd will be immense. There are indications of a general outpouring from all parts of Ohio. The Bristow men are busy, the Blaine men determined, the Morton men sanguine, the Oonkling men contented, and the Hayes men happy, hopeful end serene, it is the best natured lot 01 lei- lows all round ever seen at a National Convention, and the best looking. Some of the brightest and best behaved men here are the oolored delegates. They are a credit to their race. rERIONAJ,. A. Banning Norton, formerly of Mt. Vernon, is one ol the Texas delegates, and is working for Hayes. The Michigan delegation contains an original Hayes man, choBen as such. Hit name is Mitchell. He thinks his whole delegation is about of the same mind sb himself. General Helen visited the Ohio head? quarters to-day and wag warmly greeted. General Stelnwehr, of the old Eleventh corps, also called. He now resides in Cincinnati. Some of the newspaper men are so confident that Hayes will be nominated that they are collating the personal history of Ohio's candidate, so as to have it ready. Tliis is confidential. Ben. Wade looks sb rugged and hearty as he did ten years ago. There is great curiosity to see and bear him, and if he should happen to address the Convention he will raise one of the old time hurrahs, Some of the best Hayes men here are the women. There is nothing like having a good looking candidate. rLATFOEM AND ORGANIZATION. There is very little discussion yet, either as to the platform or the organiza tion of the Convention. New York wilj probably propose T. M. Pemeroy for per manent Chairman. The school question is likely to be a prominent feature of the platform, and there are pp indications of any steps back ward on the currency question. There is a universal feeling that with good nominations, and a good platform, the Republicans are going to win in the coming fight. To th. Associated Pre... ANXIETY rOB BLAINB. Cincinnati, June 12. The greatest anxiety nas oeen leit Dy all parties to-day conoerning the condition of Mr. Blaine. A number of telegrams have been receiv ed all stating that he was lmnrovinsr raD. idly, and in a day or two would be completely restored. Some parties deolsred it to be the fact that Mr. Blaine's illness was being used to weaken his force, and especially to prevent any sympathy being excited in his favor to the extent of win ning doubtful delegates to his support. A SENSATION DISCREDITED. A sensational dispatch to the Enquirer from Washington, to the effect that Mr. Bristow had called upon Mr. Blaine in his prostrate condition, and was repelled by Mrs. Blaine, causes considerable comment. Mr. Frye, leader of the Blaine faction, says he does not believe the state ment, as there has been no allusion to it knew'dr.'"BlameariQJMf.'rfBlow"wefe friendly and always had been. THE CONKLING HEADQUARTERS at the Grand Hotel present ayeryac'ive scene. Among tne prominent politicians this morning are Stewart L, Woodford, A. R. Burkett and W. Butler Duncan. The New York delegation are now in consultation in their parlor. MORE ARRIVALS. The North Carolina delegation arrived and registered at the Grand this noon. The Hartranlt Cluh, ot .Philadelphia, accompanied by McClure's band, will arrive this evening. CLAIMS OF MORTON MEN. The Morton men, Btarting with the assumption that Blaine will not recover in time to secure in the Convention the vote he otherwise would, even if presented there at all, are in much better Bpirits today than yesterday, claiming the danger of defeat of their oandidate has lessened, and that what danger he has to tear comes from a new Bource, not as yesterday from Conkling, but from Hayes. They assert that efforts made by Conkling men to Becure the Southern votes, that being supposed to be the most vulnerable quarter, have failed, and that the delegates from that section, colored and white, remain as yet faithful to those whom they were pledged to support. The chief reliance of Morton is on accessions which it is believed will come to him from Blaine men in the Northwest and Northeast, should it be found the latter could not be nominated. It is claimed that a third of Iowa, a portion of Wisconsin, a share of Michigan, a fraction of Illinois, and a pretty full vote from Maine, will go to Morton when Blaine drops out. The number to be thuB obtained from Illinois is not as large as has been claimed by some. Colonel Ingersol and about fire others, will probably make up all that can be obtained from that Bource, rather to the disappointment of the Indianans. The delegation from Indiana is asserted to be determined to Btick to Morton to the bitter end, and have no second choice. ALABAMA CONTEST. The contested seats from Alabama will be the first matter which will come before the Convention which will create any discussion. It will be preceded only by formal business. STANLEY MATHEWS CHAIRMAN. The Convention will be called to order by Governor Morgan, of New York, Chairman of the National Central committee, who will make a brief address, not exceeding five minutes in length. Then Judge Stanley Mathews, temporary presiding officer, will address the Convention, after which committee's on Credentials,' Resolutions, etc., will be appointed. With the report of the former' the Alabama case will come up. ft is propqsetf by some to settle the BIFFICOLT FOINT by admitting neither, but the feeling among the Blaine, Morton and Conkling men seems to be in favor of admitting what is known as the Spencer delegat;ou, nee none of its members will vote lor Bristow. who is regarded as a common enemy, and since the friends of each ol the candinates aoove named nope lor strength from the Bpenper delegation, which they claim has a snaaow more ol legality about jt than the Warner delegation. BLAINE'S CHANCES. Owing to Blaine's attack last Sunday, aggressive warlare on the part ot nis friends waa not very active to-day, and muob qf their time was necessarily spent in reassuring delegates who had been alarmed by the tone of some of the dispatches which were received from Washington, These apparently unfavorable telegrams were met by others reoeived from his family, and it can not be safely said that as yet any votes have been lost to him by reason of his sickness. Should his condition remain unimproved for twentyfoiir hours more, however, there are sam iq oe several who would support him only on informal and possibly the first formal ballot. This evening SENATOR LOGAN claims Blaine will have 309 voles on the first formal ballot, and on the second will secure enough waverere to put him through. Senator Logan denies the statement that he is at heart for Conkling, as serting the choice of the Convention must lie between Blaine and the benator irom New York, and that he is strongly in fayer of the former. BRISTOW'S HOFES. Bristow's friends are making claims that on the second formal ballot their candidate will have 200 votes. They say that instead of two Voles formerly allowed Brietow in JIlinoiB he will have six, and that after a ballot or two nearly all of Missouri will unite on him. They admit that their force is chiefly made up of a few districts from each State, but claim that those will stand nm against pressure and persuasion, and will not allow themeelves to be oo. erced into letting their States vote in unit. Yet most of them seem to entertain no faith in Bristow's nomination, saying after Blaine is disposed of Morton and Conkling will unite to stay Bristow, if in no other way by giving tne nomination to Hayes. There was a meeting of Bristow men to-day, at which Solicitor Wifson was present as a leading spirit. They counted up one hundred and sixty votes which they claim certain for Bristow on the first formal ballot. ENTHUSIASM FOR HAYES. The Ohio men have grown to be enthusiastic for Hayes. They held two meetings this afternoon and evening, at which reports were made by prominent members of the delegation who have been in conference with other delegations, going to show that there iB a general feeling of confidence now in the nomination of Governor Hayes as a compromise candidate. It was stated at the meeting that Missouri had said that with Blaine out of the way the msiority of delegates would iro over to Haves and the remain der to Morton. Prominent Massachu-. setts delegates, it was also said, have assured Ohio delegates all (hat they desired was that Ohio should stand firm on ballot, and Massachusetts would eventually uuuie wj tne support ol nayea. THE OONKLING MEN have done nothing to-day exoept in se cret, laey nave been eonlerring together, and have kindly seen that idle delegates from the South have had pleasant and enjoyable rides in the suburbs of the city without any expense. Conkling men have also, it it reported, approached California and Nevada delegates with a proposition to take care of all expenses incurred by them in attending the Convention if they should be able to see that th good of the country required the nomi- uuuuu ui ifonKiing. THE HARTRANFT CLUB of Philadelphia, 125 in number, arrived this evening, aocompanied by a band, and marched to the Burnett House. The members are uniformed, wearing black cloth Buits and white hats, with a handsome portrait bad re of their fvnrii candidate. Among the prominent men in the party were Colonel Willi am R. Mann, Wm. R. Leeds. General H. H 4'tokl'y and Gideon Clarke. " Bristow Meeting- In Cincinnati. Cincinnati, June 13. An enthusiastic Briatow meeting was held to-night at Pike's Opera House, at which there were over one thousand people present. It was the forerunner of a still larger out pouring to-night at the same hail. The meeting was presided over by Mr. T. D. Lincoln, one of Cincinnati's eminent jurists, andjm out-and-out Bristow man. After BOmg. able introductory remaks by the Chairman, in which allusion as made to Secretary Bristow's fitnes for the Presi dency, etc., the meeting was addressed by trot. r. M. Mhynde, of Ann Arbor, Mich., a delegate to the Convention. Prof. Rhynde'a eloqnent tribute to Bristow's record and fearlessness in hia administration of revenue affairs was warmly applauded. He was followed by Mr. Geo. Walker, of the Reform Club of New York, who reviewed Secretary Bristow's governmental services in connection with civil service reforms, and referred in terms of the highest praise to his capabilities for filling the office of President. That part of his address which reviewed Mr. Bristow's thorough convictions on the subject of honesty in the administration of the Government, and his devotion to the hard money principle, struck the key note, and wae listened to with the deepest interest, and the speaker was rewarded with loud and lone applause. He was followed by General Finnell, of Kentucky, an old friend of General BriB tow, and therefore better qualified to Bpeak of the famous Secretaiy's war career. He did not fail to show that on the field of battle General Bristow wan ever as brave and true to his duty as he has beeu since entering l,he public service. Mr. George F. Clark, now of California, but formerly a Cincinnatian, made Borne eloquent remarks expressive of his belief in Bristow as the only man to unite all opposition and win a glorious Republican victory this fall. The last speaker of the evening was Mr. George Dupee, a colored man from Kentucky, who warmly advocated Bristowis claims to the Presidency, and spoke in encouraging termsofhis strength in Kentucky. The meeting was a success, .and was the precursor of another and larger turn out for this evening, when Dr. Bellows, of New York, and James Freeman Clarke, of Boston, are expected to address the meeting. The Bristow delegates to the Convention are highly pleased with the results of this evening's meeting, showing, as il does, the local strength of their candidate, and au.'nring well for the great contest of the week.

Most of the moroioir hour was occupied in discussing a motion to adjourn over until Thursday on account of a large number of Senators being absent from the city attending the Cincinnati Convention.

The oommittee, however, had found no difficulty in reaching t'ae conclusion that the charge sa to payment ot money to Kerr was unqualifiedly false, and that Mr. Kerr Blood fully exonerated from the Implication effecting his personal honor or oibcial integrity. 1 ne committee nas round nothing in the whole progress of the investU gation to detract from hia well established reputation for unquestioned personal integrity and unsullied purity. Mr. Clymer remarked that the conclusion reached was the unanimous judgment, not only of the committee, but Qf the House and country. Mr. Dun ford, a Republican member of the committee, Baid that it afforded him real pleasure to be able tosubscrtue to tne report, not because of the unfortunate illness of Mr. Kerr, but because it waa an act of simple justice to that gentleman. air. uanrora coniinuea ms remarxs at lencLb. and was followed bv Mr. Hurlburt.

Mr. Garfield asked that it be entered on the record that the report was adopted unan lnioustv. The Speaker pro tern, directed the Olerk to let it be recorded on the record as the unanimous vote of the House.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY CINCINNATI CONVENTION. Notes Caught Cp In Running the liases. First Bate, Blaine-Second conKltng 1 hirst Morton Home Bale, Hayes. Cincinnati, 12 June, 1876. The news of Blaine's illness has not very materially changed the situation, on the whole. There were a great many who Were ready to count Blaine out, ai soon aa the new came. They were very eorry, of course. It was a case for deep sympathy. Blane's struggles in the role of National Gladiator had been brilliant and grand. It was natural to feel-admiration for such bravery and grandeur, just as it was in the old days of the arena, when talwart gladiators fought lions or each other for the entertainment of the crowd at the Colosseum. But there w not many then, and there are not many now, ready with the thumb to give the signal of mercy. He is a braye man he is wounded he is prostrate off with his head. There are a few, on the contrary whose genuine sympathies have been so Btrongly enlisted that it has been aaid frequently to-day "If Blaine can be proven before the Convention to have suffered no permanent injury from this stroke, and no danger of recurring symptoms of an enfeebling nature, he may be nominated on the first ballot.' This is of course poohpoolied by others, who say "we do not nominate President from sympathy for their distresses or bodily ailment" And so the battle goes on. The Blaine men the Maine men-show no sort of intention of abandoning their candidate. One delegate from another Stale said emphatically, with s pious cussword in italics, that they would tick to Blaine now, and nominate his corpse if he died, as a sign of their undying reprobation of the warfare made on him by some of the opposing candidates. This was undoubtedly the feeling of all Blaine's warmest friends and admirers while the fresh wound of sympathy was open and bleeding for their chief. After that pain is allayed, and the intellect gains its proper preponderance, they will make careful inquiry and demand satisfactory guarantees that Mr, Blaine's intellectual vigor has not been impaired or endangered, before they will give him their final votes. 'With thiB assurance all may feel tranquil. If Mr. Blaine is not endangered in his intel. Iectual vigor, his friends not only should but will support him. If he is endangered, they will not imperil the country ont of misplaced sympathy. The Conkling interest has developed in a manner to astonish the friends of some of the other candidates. There are "rafts" of sharp, shrewd, alert men here working for Conkling with a pertinacity and elan hardly equaled in any other following, They override objections and ignore prejudices against their candidate with an in vincible nonehalance, beautiful to behold. There are some of the sbrewdest om longheaded politicans in th Coventiou who say that it has narrowed down now to a single question, whether it tihall be Conkline, or whether all the others shall combine to defeat him with Hayes or Washburn.. Washburne is not strong as a compromise candidate. As an Iowa delegate expressed it" We have had too much Washburne up our way the Washburne are too numerous - Eive us a rest." Morton's friends are busy everywhere. They go about loaded like puck horses with documents for Morton. Whether they eat or whether they drink they do it all to the dory of Morton. It is really pitiful to find the commanding intellect of the great war Governor almost completely ignored in this canvass, and to have the whole thing made a matter of 1-m The low nntnf im tn.fat.il tinny, -fl(h the utmost pertinacity. We are assured that Morton's legs are as good as new that a slight difficulty In the use of one ankle is the only thing in the way of pedestrian feats of the most astonishing kind. "Anyhow, legs ought not to ount much," they will say, in conclusion, "a man don't run for President with his legs." Yet, the legs will get in the tway, every time Morton is discussed. There is no one to find fault with the re-0 ord of (Senator Morton for pecuniary honesty. His bitterest lot cannot charts that he ever made one cent dishonestly off the government, in all the millions he has disbursed. "He ! nnnr ht,t honest," emphatically, in all money matters. The charge does not go to his business honesty, but it is freely made-as to his moral soundness, and his political reliability. He is not trusted on the currency, and all Indiana cannot convince anybody that Morton would not sacrifice principle to partisan advantage at any time when they might come in conflict. If this is not true it is the Senator's misfortune that people cannot be forced to aouDt it. Morton is looked upon as an imDOSaibllitV hv all fh Irion,!, nf nlko- eandidates, but his own friends are among .1. . - C J , ,L. I . .. bun muai. uumuubul in me umyemion. Brietow does not develop any strength at all. It is surprising how little atten tion is paid to any suggestion of his name, iu me oruinary smaii circles or tne mass. The Bristow clubs load the tables of all the different delegations with meaty documents which no one ever reads. Thev timer do read documents at Conventions. it is tne stupidest waste of money to print them. (I beg- you to observe how virtuous it is for me to make the admission, to the destruction of the trade, j The Bristow clubs have the most expensive of all the headquarter arrangements, except those for Conkling. It is noticeable that reform is very nice in its tastes-very esthetic very expensive to keep very kidglovey in its aspect and swallow-tailish in its development. One set of Evangelists has taken possession of the Billiard Boom at the Gibson a large handsome apartment on the ground floor. They preach Bristow, and him crucified literally, this is true, and if it is irreverent I am sorry. The Bristow support has undoubtedly inspired bim, by a sort of self-righteous arrogance. There is an impression that the Bristow people are too angelic for the dishwashing of every day life. Hayes what shall I say as to Hayes Let me tell you what Richard Smith said to me : "I would rather have Hayes's chances for the nomination than any other man's." The Deacon still Bticks to Bristow in the Gazette, but these are his real sentiments as to the probabilities. The Gazette has declared in advance that it will not Bupport Blaine, if nominated. It is a matter of universal regret that the Republicans of Ohio have no representative or champion among the morning press of Cincinnati. The sentiment of the Republicans of Ohio is not only not represented, but is suppressed and distorted, or misrepresented in all the morning papers. The reason for this is inscrutable to Why the Gazette and Commer cial should both have gone totally deaf, dumb and blind, not to say insane and idiotic, in deyotion to Brietow, is one of the things no fellar ean find out. I give it up. I would have Bworn by the Commercial on a stack of Swan's statutes not by its principles, but by its fairness in news matters out it nag gone deck un me. It is bitter in the belly, now. Ite thunder all comes from under Bristow's coat tail. The Times is the only newspaper here that reflects the real public sentiment of Ohio, by giving a fair showing to the small and infrequent portions of the State where Bristow is not bowed down to and worshipped. The Enquirer has too much partisan ability to serve Republican interests, but it is really more impar tial in this matter than the uazette or Commercial, just now. Tfl be brief, Uayes, tee find, u me secona onow qf nearly all the different dels-gatiom, for President. Moreover if he would take tne Betosa pi ace on me ucaei "and sav no more about it." I have no doubt he would be nominated by acclama tion and with enthusiasm. But when the Hayes men go a-catting they don't Din for eelB. They qo most con- Bdently expect to ee the name of Rutherford B. Hayes occupy the first place on the ticket. I have heard not only the best informed Ohio men, but the very best posted men of other delegations, assert that nothing could prevent the nomination of Hayes, after the demonstration of the fact that neither of the great quadrilateral can make the race, always provided Ohio stands by Hayes faithfully. Once lor all, Ohio mill stand by Hayes while there s a ghost of a chance for him, to any point short of disorganising the Convention. This is the naked, Bimple truth, as the result will Bbow. All the reports that Hayes does not hold the real preferences, first and above all other candidates, of Ohio, solid and unanimous, have been so ridiculously false that the delegation has felt incredulous of their haying any effect, and has failed to notice any of them. I write this at the request of the delegation, and I assert most positively and unconditionally, on their behalf, that they have only one choice for President short of such a crisis in the Convention as would make further support of Hayes simply disorganizing and obstructive of the work of the Convention. They mean to give Hayes the moBt faithful, active and earnest support in their power, and tbey do not think -it necessary to have any second choice. There will hardly be votes enough to go around, the way this thing is working now. Here is the way it footB up for Brat ballot, taking the "Bure count" of friends of each candidate : Blaine , 92 votes Morton 260 " Conkling 2r0 " Bristow ) " Hartranft " Hayes c to " Jewell 11 ' Washburne , t " Total ItOBo votes There is a shrewd move talked of in the Blaine management. It has generally been held that Blaine would have his forces in such thorough organization and discipline as to control his utmost Btrength on the first ballot, so that he would lose rather than gain in subsequent ballotings. Now the "move" is to have part of the Blaine vote caBt scattering, on the Brat call, leaving him still a plurality ; then, before the vote is announced, some scattering Blaine delegation will change its vote to Blaine, another will follow, and in the excitement of the changing votes it is hoped that some of the weak-kneed supporters pf other candidates will be swept into the current, and the whole thing be carried by that sort of coup de main which has characterized the brilliant method of the great chieftain on the floor of the House this winter. If any Buch movement is oontemplated, it shows that Blaine's interests are in com petent hands here, and it will require the utmost watchfulness and care on the part of his rivsls to prevent it from Bucceeding. Ordinarily, political Conventions are subject to the gen eral law in physics, that the largest mass has the most attraction of gravita tion. Thie law is countervailed in the case of Blaine, by the very perfection of organization, which has secured to him in advance a) I tne noaung matter subject to this attraction of gravitation. Clearly, then, the only chance for any accretion of material is, to plant part of the Blaine matter in the solid body of the opposition, and carry as much of the opposition with it as may be involved in the momentum of the movirg body. If the Blaine count is correct, it will only be necessary to rattle down a -few blocks of such iporioj, to give the Blaine matter a preponderance of weight in the uenven lion, J. M. C.

General View of the Claims of the Various Candidates. Bristow Meeting- at Pike's Opera llouae Last Klg-ht. Spaclal to the Ohio State Journal. Cincinnati, June 12. The Ohio dele gation had two more meeting at the Grand Hotel this afternoon. About forty of the fortyfour delegates were pres ent, and it was good for a Hayes man to be there. On motion of ex-Senator Wade, Genernal Noyes was made permanent chairman by unanimous vote. The vari ous delegates who had not been present yesterday, were then called upon to speak their minds, and without exception de- plared they would STAND BY THE HAYES BAN NEB As long sb there was a shred of it left. Mr. Wade said he had come here to nominate Hayes, and that he was the man to nominate. One delegate, Carhart, of Gal-ion, the oniy one so far, expressed a gen erous inclination toward Bristow, but declared he would vote for Hayes as long as be could do him any good. This is the sum and substance of the Bristow support developed in the Ohio delegation so far. With this single exception, the declarations for Hayes were all of the most hearty and emphatic character. SflBSJflNABY WOKK. Committees were appointed to visit all the delegations to-morrow to do missionary work. A Kew York delegate said to your cor respondent this evening: "you Qhio men undoubtedly hold the winning card; stick to your candidate and he will be nominated." The same thing has been Baid dozens of times today by delegates from various States. A prominent North Carolinian has asked the privilege of making a Hayes speech to-morrow evening, and will be granted the privilege, He feels certain pis delegation will come to Qhio after the first or second ballot. He says Hayes can carry North Carolina by ten thou sand. OHIO OCT SERENADING. The Ohio men are out serenading the various delegations this evening. Gen eral John C. Lee and General Grosvenor made a couple of very neat little speeches during the rounds. Pennsylvania is po longer a myth. The delegation came in to-night carrying a Hartranft banner, and led by a brass band. The Pennsyl-vanians all wear white hats and black hats for effect. It is very imposing. Mr, Cessna responded in their behalf to the Ohio serenade. A GOOD NATURED CROWD. The number of arrivals to-day are very large, and there is a prospect that tomorrow the crowd will be immense. There are indications of a general outpouring from all parts of Ohio. The Bristow men are busy, the Blaine men determined, the Morton men sanguine, the Oonkling men contented, and the Hayes men happy, hopeful end serene, it is the best natured lot 01 lei- lows all round ever seen at a National Convention, and the best looking. Some of the brightest and best behaved men here are the oolored delegates. They are a credit to their race. rERIONAJ,. A. Banning Norton, formerly of Mt. Vernon, is one ol the Texas delegates, and is working for Hayes. The Michigan delegation contains an original Hayes man, choBen as such. Hit name is Mitchell. He thinks his whole delegation is about of the same mind sb himself. General Helen visited the Ohio head? quarters to-day and wag warmly greeted. General Stelnwehr, of the old Eleventh corps, also called. He now resides in Cincinnati. Some of the newspaper men are so confident that Hayes will be nominated that they are collating the personal history of Ohio's candidate, so as to have it ready. Tliis is confidential. Ben. Wade looks sb rugged and hearty as he did ten years ago. There is great curiosity to see and bear him, and if he should happen to address the Convention he will raise one of the old time hurrahs, Some of the best Hayes men here are the women. There is nothing like having a good looking candidate. rLATFOEM AND ORGANIZATION. There is very little discussion yet, either as to the platform or the organiza tion of the Convention. New York wilj probably propose T. M. Pemeroy for per manent Chairman. The school question is likely to be a prominent feature of the platform, and there are pp indications of any steps back ward on the currency question. There is a universal feeling that with good nominations, and a good platform, the Republicans are going to win in the coming fight. To th. Associated Pre... ANXIETY rOB BLAINB. Cincinnati, June 12. The greatest anxiety nas oeen leit Dy all parties to-day conoerning the condition of Mr. Blaine. A number of telegrams have been receiv ed all stating that he was lmnrovinsr raD. idly, and in a day or two would be completely restored. Some parties deolsred it to be the fact that Mr. Blaine's illness was being used to weaken his force, and especially to prevent any sympathy being excited in his favor to the extent of win ning doubtful delegates to his support. A SENSATION DISCREDITED. A sensational dispatch to the Enquirer from Washington, to the effect that Mr. Bristow had called upon Mr. Blaine in his prostrate condition, and was repelled by Mrs. Blaine, causes considerable comment. Mr. Frye, leader of the Blaine faction, says he does not believe the state ment, as there has been no allusion to it knew'dr.'"BlameariQJMf.'rfBlow"wefe friendly and always had been. THE CONKLING HEADQUARTERS at the Grand Hotel present ayeryac'ive scene. Among tne prominent politicians this morning are Stewart L, Woodford, A. R. Burkett and W. Butler Duncan. The New York delegation are now in consultation in their parlor. MORE ARRIVALS. The North Carolina delegation arrived and registered at the Grand this noon. The Hartranlt Cluh, ot .Philadelphia, accompanied by McClure's band, will arrive this evening. CLAIMS OF MORTON MEN. The Morton men, Btarting with the assumption that Blaine will not recover in time to secure in the Convention the vote he otherwise would, even if presented there at all, are in much better Bpirits today than yesterday, claiming the danger of defeat of their oandidate has lessened, and that what danger he has to tear comes from a new Bource, not as yesterday from Conkling, but from Hayes. They assert that efforts made by Conkling men to Becure the Southern votes, that being supposed to be the most vulnerable quarter, have failed, and that the delegates from that section, colored and white, remain as yet faithful to those whom they were pledged to support. The chief reliance of Morton is on accessions which it is believed will come to him from Blaine men in the Northwest and Northeast, should it be found the latter could not be nominated. It is claimed that a third of Iowa, a portion of Wisconsin, a share of Michigan, a fraction of Illinois, and a pretty full vote from Maine, will go to Morton when Blaine drops out. The number to be thuB obtained from Illinois is not as large as has been claimed by some. Colonel Ingersol and about fire others, will probably make up all that can be obtained from that Bource, rather to the disappointment of the Indianans. The delegation from Indiana is asserted to be determined to Btick to Morton to the bitter end, and have no second choice. ALABAMA CONTEST. The contested seats from Alabama will be the first matter which will come before the Convention which will create any discussion. It will be preceded only by formal business. STANLEY MATHEWS CHAIRMAN. The Convention will be called to order by Governor Morgan, of New York, Chairman of the National Central committee, who will make a brief address, not exceeding five minutes in length. Then Judge Stanley Mathews, temporary presiding officer, will address the Convention, after which committee's on Credentials,' Resolutions, etc., will be appointed. With the report of the former' the Alabama case will come up. ft is propqsetf by some to settle the BIFFICOLT FOINT by admitting neither, but the feeling among the Blaine, Morton and Conkling men seems to be in favor of admitting what is known as the Spencer delegat;ou, nee none of its members will vote lor Bristow. who is regarded as a common enemy, and since the friends of each ol the candinates aoove named nope lor strength from the Bpenper delegation, which they claim has a snaaow more ol legality about jt than the Warner delegation. BLAINE'S CHANCES. Owing to Blaine's attack last Sunday, aggressive warlare on the part ot nis friends waa not very active to-day, and muob qf their time was necessarily spent in reassuring delegates who had been alarmed by the tone of some of the dispatches which were received from Washington, These apparently unfavorable telegrams were met by others reoeived from his family, and it can not be safely said that as yet any votes have been lost to him by reason of his sickness. Should his condition remain unimproved for twentyfoiir hours more, however, there are sam iq oe several who would support him only on informal and possibly the first formal ballot. This evening SENATOR LOGAN claims Blaine will have 309 voles on the first formal ballot, and on the second will secure enough waverere to put him through. Senator Logan denies the statement that he is at heart for Conkling, as serting the choice of the Convention must lie between Blaine and the benator irom New York, and that he is strongly in fayer of the former. BRISTOW'S HOFES. Bristow's friends are making claims that on the second formal ballot their candidate will have 200 votes. They say that instead of two Voles formerly allowed Brietow in JIlinoiB he will have six, and that after a ballot or two nearly all of Missouri will unite on him. They admit that their force is chiefly made up of a few districts from each State, but claim that those will stand nm against pressure and persuasion, and will not allow themeelves to be oo. erced into letting their States vote in unit. Yet most of them seem to entertain no faith in Bristow's nomination, saying after Blaine is disposed of Morton and Conkling will unite to stay Bristow, if in no other way by giving tne nomination to Hayes. There was a meeting of Bristow men to-day, at which Solicitor Wifson was present as a leading spirit. They counted up one hundred and sixty votes which they claim certain for Bristow on the first formal ballot. ENTHUSIASM FOR HAYES. The Ohio men have grown to be enthusiastic for Hayes. They held two meetings this afternoon and evening, at which reports were made by prominent members of the delegation who have been in conference with other delegations, going to show that there iB a general feeling of confidence now in the nomination of Governor Hayes as a compromise candidate. It was stated at the meeting that Missouri had said that with Blaine out of the way the msiority of delegates would iro over to Haves and the remain der to Morton. Prominent Massachu-. setts delegates, it was also said, have assured Ohio delegates all (hat they desired was that Ohio should stand firm on ballot, and Massachusetts would eventually uuuie wj tne support ol nayea. THE OONKLING MEN have done nothing to-day exoept in se cret, laey nave been eonlerring together, and have kindly seen that idle delegates from the South have had pleasant and enjoyable rides in the suburbs of the city without any expense. Conkling men have also, it it reported, approached California and Nevada delegates with a proposition to take care of all expenses incurred by them in attending the Convention if they should be able to see that th good of the country required the nomi- uuuuu ui ifonKiing. THE HARTRANFT CLUB of Philadelphia, 125 in number, arrived this evening, aocompanied by a band, and marched to the Burnett House. The members are uniformed, wearing black cloth Buits and white hats, with a handsome portrait bad re of their fvnrii candidate. Among the prominent men in the party were Colonel Willi am R. Mann, Wm. R. Leeds. General H. H 4'tokl'y and Gideon Clarke. " Bristow Meeting- In Cincinnati. Cincinnati, June 13. An enthusiastic Briatow meeting was held to-night at Pike's Opera House, at which there were over one thousand people present. It was the forerunner of a still larger out pouring to-night at the same hail. The meeting was presided over by Mr. T. D. Lincoln, one of Cincinnati's eminent jurists, andjm out-and-out Bristow man. After BOmg. able introductory remaks by the Chairman, in which allusion as made to Secretary Bristow's fitnes for the Presi dency, etc., the meeting was addressed by trot. r. M. Mhynde, of Ann Arbor, Mich., a delegate to the Convention. Prof. Rhynde'a eloqnent tribute to Bristow's record and fearlessness in hia administration of revenue affairs was warmly applauded. He was followed by Mr. Geo. Walker, of the Reform Club of New York, who reviewed Secretary Bristow's governmental services in connection with civil service reforms, and referred in terms of the highest praise to his capabilities for filling the office of President. That part of his address which reviewed Mr. Bristow's thorough convictions on the subject of honesty in the administration of the Government, and his devotion to the hard money principle, struck the key note, and wae listened to with the deepest interest, and the speaker was rewarded with loud and lone applause. He was followed by General Finnell, of Kentucky, an old friend of General BriB tow, and therefore better qualified to Bpeak of the famous Secretaiy's war career. He did not fail to show that on the field of battle General Bristow wan ever as brave and true to his duty as he has beeu since entering l,he public service. Mr. George F. Clark, now of California, but formerly a Cincinnatian, made Borne eloquent remarks expressive of his belief in Bristow as the only man to unite all opposition and win a glorious Republican victory this fall. The last speaker of the evening was Mr. George Dupee, a colored man from Kentucky, who warmly advocated Bristowis claims to the Presidency, and spoke in encouraging termsofhis strength in Kentucky. The meeting was a success, .and was the precursor of another and larger turn out for this evening, when Dr. Bellows, of New York, and James Freeman Clarke, of Boston, are expected to address the meeting. The Bristow delegates to the Convention are highly pleased with the results of this evening's meeting, showing, as il does, the local strength of their candidate, and au.'nring well for the great contest of the week.

The report states that after, full in-auirv into the facts, and after thorough ex amination of Harney, the only witness mak ing the charge, of Augustus r. ureen, and divers other witnesses, it appeared that in 186Q, while a member of the House of Rep resentatives or tue luirtyninm uongress, Mr. Kerr did, in the exercise of hia right or privilege, nominate Green for an appointment in the regular army.
